History of the Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower was built to mark the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. Let's find out from beginning to end -
An international exhibition was held in Paris, France on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. The Eiffel Tower was built to commemorate this event. The construction of the Eiffel Tower began two years before the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. Which ended in 18. The funny thing here is that it was decided to open the tower 20 years after the end of the fair (international exhibition hall). What? Feeling surprised? Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like BT aint for me either. However, in the end it didn't happen anymore. Because by that time the fame of the Eiffel Tower had spread all over the world. People started coming in groups from home and abroad. And in this way the reputation of the tower spread all over the world. The Eiffel Tower was so popular at that time that people all over France were amazed to see it. The beauty of the tower that they had planned to destroy so much seemed to impress the whole world. Gustavo Eiffel himself is surprised to see all this. Because when Gustavo Eiffel at the inauguration of the tower, he never thought that his creation would be immortal in the heart of the world forever.
The people of Paris did not find it during the construction of this wonderful installation. Even before the construction of the tower was completed, the people of Paris had been protesting against the tower. When the tower was inaugurated on January 26, 1887, the people of the city became even more annoyed and questioned whether the tower was a symbol of the beauty of Paris. As a result, there was a lot of criticism and debate among Parisians about the tower. Instead, the debate turned into a movement, with prominent people roaring in protest. The movement to remove the Eiffel Tower also started. Many decisions have already been made to remove the Eiffel Tower. One of them is the step taken during the Second World War. During World War II, the French army decided to demolish part of the Eiffel Tower in order to prevent Nazi abuse. Moreover, Hitler himself ordered the destruction of the Eiffel Tower. Ignoring all these obstacles, the tower still stands tall as the main attraction of the city.
